Tiles maintenance
- - close all+ show all
- 1) Routine maintenance
You are recommended to use ordinary neutral detergent diluted in water. Avoid using acid or alkaline products, waxes and/or impregnants. During ordinary cleaning, it is recommended to use extremely abrasive items (such as scourers and iron or steel sponges) as little as possible. This recommendation must be adhered to rigorously in the case of tiles with a glossy surface finishing as they are more susceptible to the risk of scuffs, scratches and loss of shine, etc.
In the event of heavy dirt or particularly textured surfaces, use an alkaline detergent and rinse after washing. For large surfaces, the use of a floor washing machine is recommended. During every-day cleaning procedures, it is necessary to remember that certain types of dirt (dust, sand) increase the abrasive effect of foot-traffic. Therefore, we recommend you avoid bringing in this type of dirt, which comes in from the outside, by placing a door-mat at the entrance. - 2) Extraordinary maintenance
In the event of dirt resistant to the ordinary cleaning, use a suitable detergent for the particular kind of dirt. Read the specific advice.

FOR THE CORRECT USE PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION MENTIONED ON THE LABEL. - 3) Warning
The suggestions and advice given above are the fruit of research, laboratory tests and many years experience.
However, the cleaning characteristics of the materials may vary significantly depending on the laying method, conditions of use, type of surface and environment. Generally speaking, the higher the non-slip characteristics of the tiles, the more difficult they are to clean. The maintenance and cleaning operative should always test each cleaning method empirically in advance (if possible on a piece of the material not laid).
In the case of particularly heavy use (for example, mechanical workshops or environments with a heavy presence of oily residues and tyre marks), incorrect laying or inappropriate cleaning, Marca Corona declines all responsibility for the effectiveness of cleaning and maintenance operations.
Marca Corona can under no circumstances be held responsible for events, damage or defects caused by incorrect laying, negligent cleaning and maintenance or the use of materials and adhesives inappropriate for the use.
